Hannah Green has achieved success at almost every level since her father encouraged her to pick up a club at Hillview Public Golf Course in Perth.
Her passion for the sport was ignited during a Graham Marsh Junior Golf Foundation camp in 2010, leading to selection for her first state team and participation in the Aussie Juniors. By the age of 15, Hannah had decided to pursue a professional career in golf.
Hannah's amateur career was notable, especially her involvement with the Australian National Team. In 2015, she finished second at the New Zealand Open and received the Karrie Webb Scholarship.
Turning professional in 2016, Hannah had an impressive first full season, recording 12 top-10 finishes on the LPGA Futures Tour and earning the Gaelle Truet Rookie of the Year award, which secured her a spot on the LPGA Tour for the 2018 season. She ended the 2017 season with victories at the Sara Bay Classic, Murphy USA El Dorado Shootout and IOA Golf Classic.
In 2018, Hannah competed in 24 events, making 14 cuts, with a top-10 finish on the LPGA, a third-place finish in the Australian Open, and a fifth-place finish in the Louise Suggs Rolex Rookie of the Year standings.
Her big breakthrough came in 2019 when she won the Women's PGA Championship, defeating defending champion Sung Hyun Park by one stroke. That year, she made 19 out of 23 cuts and earned more than $1 million in prize money. She would also win the LPGA Portland Classic in the same season. That year she also won the Greg Norman Medal, awarded annually to the best male or female professional Australian golfer on the world stage.
Despite the challenges of 2020, Hannah made 13 cuts out of 14 events and finished second at the Women's World Championship in 2021, securing her Olympic debut at the Tokyo Olympics. In Tokyo, she finished the final round two-under 68, placing equal fifth, just three shots short of the medals.
Post-Tokyo, Hannah maintained her stellar form, making all cuts in her 2022 season and again earning over $1 million in prize money. She went on to win three more tournaments, including the LA Championship in 2023 and 2024, and the 2024 Women's World Championship. She also represented Australia at the International Crown teams event.
Hannah's solidified herself as a top-10 golfer in 2023-24, ensuring selection for the Paris 2024 Olympic Team.
Hannah's result in Paris was one level higher than Tokyo and agonisingly short of a historic medal at Le Gold National. Twelve strokes off the lead after round one, Hannah fought back gamely to be in the mix for a medal with nine holes to play.
Hannah’s tie for fourth alongside Amy Yang (Korea), Bianca Pagdanganan (Philippines) and Miyu Yamashita (Japan) is the best finish by an Australian in Olympic golf competition.
